Rama and Spiropali's relationship "love and hate"? The Prime

In a different interview for "Koha Jonë", opposite Nikoll Lesi, Prime Minister Edi Rama was also asked about developments within the Socialist Party, among the names that have created public debate in recent days.

The focus of the conversation was also Elisa Spiropali, his former minister, who for weeks has been publicly speaking out against him with strong positions and lengthy statements on social networks. Lesi asked Rama if things had started to "boil" within the SP, mentioning Spiropali's status, but also Erion Braçe's positions towards Ogerta Manastirliu.

The Prime Minister initially focused on Braçe, who he said has always been himself and that there is nothing to be surprised by his stances. According to Rama, Braçe has been, is and will remain so, while adding that anyone who tries to imitate him is wrong.

Asked directly about Elisa Spiropali and whether she risks expulsion, Rama chose not to dramatize the situation. He said that there is “nothing to note” and that her statements should not be taken literally. According to him, these are normal developments as long as the “red line” is not crossed.

"Whoever says 'come on, here you have me, kill me' says it because they love you or not? So they shouldn't be taken...," said Rama, while when Lesi insisted that Spiropali may have crossed more than one red line, Rama implied that political contributions have weight in how mistakes are handled within the party.

He stated that anyone can make a mistake and that anyone who has made contributions can make a mistake a second time, while the third time, according to him, is what "divides it."

"Anyone can make a mistake. Anyone who has made contributions can make a mistake the second time, the third time, and then share it," he added.

-Now you've dealt with the opposition, you like to make fun of the opposition a lot. Now in the SP, what's going on in the SP?
Is there someone like this, some faction like that, because there are some names that... I saw a status by Elisa Spiropali that was biting, written very nicely with the GPT chat, I believe, because it was written very nicely; Erion Braçe who does not accept Ogerta Manastirliu. Is there Kazani? And the "cauldron" in the SP has started to boil a little, I believe.

Prime Minister Edi Rama: I know that Erion Braçja has been who he is and says, he will remain who he is, I know that. It doesn't seem to me that there is anything new in the sense that he has been like that, that is how he is, that is how he will be and that is how he should be. He is exactly a man who is himself and there is nothing to be surprised about. He is himself. That is how he is.

-Blendi Klosi said this when he interviewed him.

Prime Minister Edi Rama: That's right, that's right. Whoever tries to imitate him is making a mistake.

-Very well. You dealt with Erion Braça, you forgot Elisa Spiropali.

Prime Minister Edi Rama: There is nothing to note here. What is there?

-Will she be expelled? Because she said "exclude me. Exclude me, exclude me, exclude me". Meaning that the prayer is only "get rid of me" or you will not answer?

Prime Minister Edi Rama: Who says "come on, here I am, kill me" does he say it because he loves you or not? So they should not be taken ...

-He has not lost his love for Skanderbeg.

Prime Minister Edi Rama: No, no, these things should not be taken literally. They are completely normal as long as they do not touch that red line.

-She has crossed the red line. Two red lines in fact, if you don't want to say it. Two. Two years that she has crossed two red lines. I even heard my colleague Martin Leka say "I had expelled her for three minutes". Martin said. I told him "it was a mistake to expel her". No - he said.
"I had expelled her - said Martin Leka - on the spot, in a second". "Yes, Rama is tolerant - he said. Not me".

Prime Minister Edi Rama: Everyone can make mistakes. Anyone who has made contributions can make mistakes the second time, and then the third time, they share it.

-So Elisa Spiropali has a red line, otherwise she is now excluded.

Prime Minister Edi Rama: No, these are saying... these are like the headlines of the first "Our Time".
Because we are here for our time, we are not here for these situations, doctor, go to the doctor.
